How to Save a Young Life from Drugs

Written by Ginger Katz CEO & Founder of The Courage to Speak®Foundation

Young Ian and Sunny

If only…

If only our pet could talk- could warn us we’d lose our son to drugs.

A Drug Prevention Story

Sunny’s Story is a compelling drug prevention story for children, adolescents, teenagers, parents, grandparents, and teachers. This drug prevention story tells of joyful times and sad times, and of how a dog’s best friend was needlessly lost to drugs. Sunny’s Story is narrated through the eyes, ears and mind of Sunny, the family beagle. It is about the ups and downs of life with his young master, beginning with their meeting at an animal shelter, and ending with a futile effort to ward off disaster.

This drug prevention story was written by Ginger Katz, a mother who lost her son Ian to a drug overdose. The drug prevention story titled Sunny’s Story helps families talk openly about the dangers of drugs.
